how the **** do you do it?! i wanna polish it but can't disassemble the alternator. please help.

 

bump. c'mon someone's gotta have done this before.

 

Remove all bolts that hold it together. you have taken the pulley off, use a puller to push the shaft out of the bearing. No puller to fit? take it to a alt, starter repair shop and ask them to take it apart .It is easer to put it back , use new bearings.
